Pat Dailey

Nebraska native Pat Dailey began his musical career while still in high school, fronting the group Pat & The K-Tones, performing at high school dances and local events. After high school, Dailey entered the Marines but didn't give up the music, staying with his acoustic guitar and covering other's songs. During a stint in Hawaii in 1960, he grabbed an opening spot for famous Hawaiian singer Don Ho. After leaving the service, he began his music career, spending the next ten years on the road playing in Chicago, Las Vegas, Steamboat Springs and Seattle. Settling down in California, he lived for a time on his sailboat.  

Partnering with songwriter, author, poet, Shel Silverstein, Dailey has  co-written music for Johnny Cash and The Irish Rovers, among others. Their other collaborations include "On the Water," "The Great Lakes Song" and "Blue Catawba Moon."  

Dailey arrived in the Cleveland-Great Lakes area in the 1970s, where he has built and maintained a solid and loyal fan base. He spends his year summering in Put-In-Bay and wintering in Key West. And singing all the while.

Dailey chose “Weed and Wine” for his contribution to the project.  Recorded at his South Bass Island home on Put-in-  Bay he made sure that the spirit of the song was conveyed in every possible way. Produced by Alex Bevan, a great deal of red wine was used in the making of this track.
